Safeway to stock Phivida’s Oki hemp extract beverages line

Phivida has announced that its Oki line of active hemp extract beverages will be sold in more than 100 Safeway stores across Colorado, US.

The collection features iced teas and waters that are infused with 20mg of hemp extract per 16oz bottle. Each beverage is available in four different flavours.

Claimed to contain natural and organic ingredients, all of Phivida’s products are plant-based and vegan-friendly, as well as packaged in recyclable glass containers.

Phivida president and CEO Jim Bailey said: “We are extremely excited to be associated with the Safeway brand and appreciate their confidence in us and their desire to align with a trusted brand and product such as Oki.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Safeway in Denver.”

Additional retail distribution is expected to launch in around 900 other outlets in Q2 2019.

Phivida chief commercial officer Doug Campbell said: “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Safeway in Denver and the surrounding areas in launching our full line of Oki active hemp infused waters and teas.
